James Keyingham University: a college for the country’s richest, most powerful and influential elite… My brother is serving a life sentence for a murder I know he didn’t commit. Things don’t add up, and all the evidence about the case seems to have disappeared. One scholarship later, and I’m attending James Keyingham University. If I want to prove him innocent, I’ve got to keep up my grades long enough to find out the truth about what happened that night. Every student here belongs to a family whose wealth puts them in the top 1% of the whole country. Including Synclair Keyingham, the younger brother of the guy mine confessed to killing. Only, Syn doesn’t feel enough justice has been served and he’s determined to make my brother pay… …By taking his revenge out on me. With his best friends, Royal and Gemini, by his side, Syn has turned the whole campus against me, and my life is getting more hellish with each passing day. Unfortunately for Syn, I’ve already lost everything. When you’ve got nothing left to lose, desperation can make you suffer through terrible things. No matter what hell he has planned for me, I’ve got one shot at finding the truth and I’ll do whatever it takes for my brother to walk free. And then I’ll make Syn, Royal, Gemini—and the rest of the student body—get down on their knees and beg for forgiveness.

The Elite: James Keyingham University’s society that’s so exclusive, that not even being a legacy guarantees your place… My brother is serving a life sentence for a murder I know he didn’t commit. The truth behind the case is somewhere on this campus, and so far, the limited clues are pointing to the Elite. After resorting to blackmail, I’ve achieved the impossible: I’m the first non-legacy to become an Initiate. Since the semester started, Synclair Keyingham, this year’s President of the Elite, had a target on my back, and I can’t fault him for that. His brother is the one everyone believes was killed by mine. So the last thing I should be is surprised when Syn takes this opportunity to take out all of his anger and frustration on me. I don’t need to pass the initiation, and I know I can’t win Syn over, but if I can make his two best friends Royal and Gemini see me as a human, then maybe, I can survive long enough to find the answers the society is hiding. But Syn’s not going to make this easy. And I’ve signed a contract which states that they can do whatever they want to me…

A secret society with reaches far greater than a college. My brother is serving a life sentence for a murder I know he didn’t commit. I think I’m close to finding out the truth because someone tried to kill me and the only reason that I’m still alive is because Syn, Royal, and Gemini found me before it was too late. Declan may have been the one who to carry out the act, but Syn, Royal, and Gemini are convinced he was ordered to attack me by JP’s best friend, Preston du Pont. I’ve finally convinced Syn that my brother is innocent, but before we can discover who really killed JP, we need to convince Preston before he tries to kill me again. Only, Preston graduated from James Keyingham University. The only way I’m going to get close to him is by infiltrating his world. A world I very clearly don’t belong to. Syn may finally be on my side, but I’m not sure if I really trust him yet. If I want to stay alive, I’m going to have to stay with him a little longer. Somehow, the safest place for me is with the three people who have spent all their time trying to hurt me. For now, at least…
